Bob Brown in Conversation

Byron Writers Festival invites you to a special evening event with Bob Brown in conversation about his new memoir, Defiance, with David Heilpern.

For half a century, Bob Brown has been standing up to the powerful interests who would put profit before planet.


In Defiance: Stories from Nature and Its Defenders, he draws on this experience to inspire a new generation of individual and collective action. He reflects on the people and places that have shaped him, celebrates the irreplaceable beauty and value of nature and shares what motivates him to keep fighting. He considers the challenges facing nature's defenders – hostile corporate lobbyists, vilification in the press, the powerful pull of consumerism – and shows how courage, persistence and community can defeat them all.

Told with Brown's trademark warmth and humour, these stories will galvanise, uplift and inspire.

Books will be available for purchase and signing, presented by The Book Room.
